1. Introduction
The Sysmex XE-5000 is an automated hematology analyzer
for in vitro diagnostic use in clinical laboratories.
The XE-5000 can analyze and output the results for 67
parameters.
WBCs, nucleated RBCs and reticulocytes are analyzed by the
optical detector block based on the fluorescence flow
cytometry method using semiconductor laser.
RBCs and platelet count are analyzed by the RBC detector
using the Hydro Dynamic Focusing method based on the
fluorescence flow cytometry method.
Hemoglobin (HGB) is analyzed by the HGB detector based on
the SLS hemoglobin determination method.
The existence of immature cells are analyzed by the IMI
detector based on the RF/DC detection method and the DIFF
channel using fluorescence flow cytometry.
Analysis data is displayed on the panel keypad LCD screen
and the screen of the Information Processing Unit (IPU).
Note:
Data generated by the XE-5000 is not intended to
replace professional judgment in the determination of
a diagnosis or in monitoring patient therapy.
Note:
Operate the instrument as instructed. Reliability of test
results cannot be guaranteed if there are any
deviations from the instructions in this manual. If the
instrument fails to function properly as a result of
either the user's operation not specified in the manual
or the user's utilization of a program not specified by
